Description
Don't get us wrong: in most ways, we've gone feral. But here’s what’s actually working during this stay-at-home time, for us and for our listeners:
for our anxiety
for our family chore buy-in
for our kitchen ennui
for laughter
for exercise
and for our senses of hope.
Above all, we offer you this: never interrupt a happy quarantined family member while they are doing... whatever it is that is making them happy. We love this quote from our listener Shannon:
“Instead of having a schedule for your day, consider having a routine. If you have a nice routine of activities you do each day, you get into a comfortable rhythm. If you try to stick with a time to schedule, you might miss out on some lovely moments. Five minutes before we were supposed to be starting schoolwork, my kids built a blanket fort where my son read to my daughter. What a gift! School will start, but this moment is more important for their relationship and this mama's heart.”
Here are links to things we mention in this episode:
Power Within Fit family workouts on Facebook
Cosmic Kids Yoga
Sibling Revelry Project
5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique

Helen Dodd for The Conversation: Coronavirus-just letting children play will help them, and their parents, cope
